Richie and Sylvia are both in hospice. They are 17 and 15, respectively, and the
youngest people on the floor, by a lot.
They are pretty much instantly attracted to each other but Sylvie’s
father despises Richie and has been actively trying to keep them apart. Told from Richie’s perspective, we get a
close look of what could be going on in the head of a dying teen, and of
course, the thoughts aren’t very different from that of any other teen. Richie is excited when his uncle Phil shows
up and sneaks him out for a few hours on Halloween, although he is ill and
exhausted that night and the next day.
This book has a lot of humor and excitement, despite the dark subject
and a lot of teens who like snarky true-life stories about difficult life
situations will want to read this book.
